Diana Vishneva On The Edge - thoughts?

[Quintus]

having just splashed out on tickets for Alina C and Ivan V in Swan Lake, I'm hesitating over another large wodge of cash for what would be a solo visit to see la Vishneva in April, though now would be the time to book as there are seats aplenty.  I've seen only brief snippets on Youtube - not quite sure whether it would be a great experience or a stretch of diva self indulgence.  Has anyone seen it elsewhere?

took the plunge with a good stalls seat. I'll blame you lot if it's no good

I'm not sure what the On the Edge programme entails.......but if it has the work she did called FLOW then I'd like to see it.

I'll look on YouTube

Several years ago I went to a performance such as this (solo visit)  at the Orange County Performing Arts Center (Orange County, California) - it's a complex of theaters and concert halls and is considered a premiere venue for dance.  The tickets were very expensive and I was really looking forward to it.  

 

That particular program was disappointing to me.  Since I had never seen this acclaimed ballerina in a live performance, I was hoping for a mix of style and genre but there was not one moment of classical movement.  I would have liked at least one classical dance.  But that is a very personal opinion.  I didn't like any of the pieces she performed.  

 

If you go to Google and type in "Diana Vishneva Orange County Performing Arts Center" a number of pictures and reviews come up for more recent performances than the one I saw.  I didn't see any indication of including a classical bit - but I could be wrong - or perhaps that might not be what matters to you.

 

For me, I did find it indulgent and disappointing.  But again, I stress, that is just a personal opinion.

Will anyone else be performing with DV?

from the programme entry it comprises a pas de trois called Switch and a solo piece Woman In a Room.  probably not what I'd have chosen to see her in given free rein, but you never quite know if you'll get another opportunity to see some of these artists, so I tend to grab what chances come along..
